Print this story 3 arrests made in drug investigation A five-month investigation into crack cocaine distribution has led to the arrests of three people and seizure of a substantial amount of cocaine. Lt. Jim Norton said a confidential informant bought crack cocaine a total of nine times from three different people over the course of the investigation. Earlier this month, officers searched two Salina homes and a home in Wichita. About 50 grams of crack cocaine -- a rock the size of a baseball -- was found in the Wichita apartment, Norton said, and smaller amounts of crack and marijuana were found in the Salina apartments. About $900 in cash also was found.
Arrested were: Oliver W. Bradwell, 44, 2660 Highland No. 8; Gary L. Jones, 55, 2660 Highland No. 5; and Jennifer L. Padgette, 36, 2663 Chapel Ridge. Norton said federal charges are being contemplated against the three. Michelle McClanahan, 32, 2621 E. Key, was arrested for possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia after she showed up at one of the apartments while police were searching. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation and Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office assisted the I-135/I-70 Drug Task Force in the investigation.

Refueling tankers being retired TOPEKA -- A dozen Eisenhower-era refueling tankers are leaving Kansas and heading for retirement in Arizona, even as debate continues in. The aircraft have been parked on the ramp at Topeka's Forbes Field since last fall as the Kansas Air National Guard moves toward using only new versions of the tankers, KC-135Rs. Ground crews have been keeping the old planes, KC-135Es, in a federally mandated "warm ready" state in case of emergency, even though the Kansas Guard has no one certified to fly them. The 190th Air Refueling Wing based at Forbes flies 12 of the newer KC-135s, making space limited for operations, said Maj. Gen. Tod Bunting, adjutant general for Kansas. |
